We’re diving headfirst into our October Bestie Rant Session, where nothing is off-limits and everything is up for debate. From the endless parade of subscriptions to the pressure for a picture-perfect life, we’re calling out the trends and annoyances that just won’t quit.

So grab your favorite drink, settle in, and let’s get a little unhinged.

In this episode, we’re chatting about:

• The never-ending need to subscribe to everything

Can we please just let women age!? Every year, the beauty standards shift and cosmetic surgeries get more intense. But what the anti-aging industry doesn’t want you to know? It’s a privilege to age!

So today, we’re talking all about the aging process because it’s something we’ll all go through and it’s something we just don’t talk about enough. Through it all, Irene and I agree on one thing - if given the chance, we would not turn back time. Society wants you to think your 20s and 30s are the best time in your life, but we beg to differ.

Whether it’s the physical sensations of aging or the wisdom accumulated over the years, there’s a lot to be gained when we accept ourselves at our age. The beautiful thing is, we’ve been friends for years, so we can actually reflect on our younger selves together. What’s been genuinely surprising about the aging process? What advice would we give our twentysomething selves? How do you keep your sparkle when your body doesn’t feel so sparkly? We’re covering it all.

Aging looks different now than it did when our parents were growing up. Think of Golden Girls! We used to allow old women to be old women. Now, it feels like we’re supposed to cosplay young girls for our entire lives. That’s just not realistic and it’s just not fun. Getting older can actually be liberating and expansive.

In today’s episode, we’re chatting about:

• The issues with the anti-aging industry
• What aging actually feels like
• Our advice to our younger selves
• How aging is discussed differently for men vs. women

If you've ever wondered what chemotherapy actually looks like or how someone can find joy in the middle of fighting cancer, this episode will give you the unfiltered truth about the realities of treatment. From the red devil chemo that makes you cry red tears to turning a bald head into a canvas for temporary tattoos.

Today we're continuing Irene's breast cancer story, picking up from her diagnosis and diving into the reality of 16 rounds of chemotherapy. This isn't a sanitized version of cancer treatment. We're talking about the four-day-a-week schedule, the shots in the stomach, the side effects that hit on Thursdays and Fridays, and why drinking massive amounts of water during treatment became crucial.

But this is also a story about finding ways to make an impossible situation bearable. From showing up to chemo with coloring books and sparkly shoes to buying colorful wigs so her 8-year-old daughter could pick which one to wear for her birthday party, Irene turned her treatment into something she didn't just survive, but celebrated her life in the middle of the fight.

We're sharing the honest moments too, like how telling her daughter about the diagnosis broke both their hearts, but also led to painted pink nails and permission to color on mom's bald head with markers. We're talking about the weird food aversions that came after treatment, the kindness of medical professionals who went above and beyond, and why sometimes the best support comes from friends who show up with Blue Bell ice cream when you're too sick to leave bed.

In today's episode, we're talking about:

• The reality of 16 rounds of chemotherapy
• How to make cancer treatment "fun" for kids
• The "red devil" chemo that literally turns everything red
• The double mastectomy and reconstruction surgery process
• The power of community support and how friends show up when you need them most, even if it's just delivering ice cream
